Global Politics: The Post Cold War World Order Fukuyama v Huntingdon

(0)
This is a fully scaffolded lesson exploring the post Cold War World Order through the Fukuyama v Huntingdon debate, updated to reflect debates in 2022 and onwards. There are six tasks altogether, with all resources provided. Very discussion based, so should take at least two hour long lessons. The lesson starts with a discussion over what constitutes a modern state, and followed by a brief examination of some developing countries. Fukuyama is introduced and anlaysed, followed by Huntingdon and the Clash of Civilizations. The last tasks are a direct comparative analysis, before a task assessing which one is more relevant in 2022. I have included additional reading to support these tasks. This lesson is good to go as soon as your download it, and the lesson is easily adaptable and editable as there is no branding or fancy gimmicks on the slides. Links to the videos are in the notes on the slides. It will transfer easily to Teams, Google or any other online format. The Word Doc for students to work on a PPT to guide the lesson and provoke discussion.

All tasks come with examples integrated. There are nine tasks which are all differentiated, with all resources provided, including reading and videos.

It is very discussion-based, with some research opportunities, so it should take at least four hour-long lessons due to the detail required of some of the tasks. This lesson is good to go as soon as your download it, and the lesson is easily adaptable and editable as there is no branding or fancy gimmicks on the slides. Links to the videos are in the notes on the slides and are also included in the file. Relevant articles are also provided in an easily accessible format.

GCSE Sociology- Feminism and the Family

I have adapted some resources here. Start the lesson by giving out the article and getting students to highlight specific examples of sexism in the family. The PPT has numerous images to start with to discuss. There is a sheet on the PPT which will need printing off, it's the one about how liberal feminists can achieve their aims. Some students might need directing on that. And then there's a worksheet to go through. Students will need knowledge of Murdocks 4 functions in order to complete.
